Both POLLY pumps were made by KEESEE, last one is a 36 CASH RECORDER [nick named the Darth Vader, grill area lights up under globe]. Never seen/herd of a 5 gal KEESEE or that type of globe holder.

Wow awesome collection! The white visible pump with the Union Gasoline decal I think is a G&B manufactured and sold overseas. Look how the body resembles the G&B 67 visible. I found one similar to it when I was scrounging in Fiji one year.

What a fabulous collection.
I wish the pumps had been identified. At least half of them are not in my book. What a treasure, is there anyway we could identify the pumps as they were shown?
When I get back from a vacation, I will post around 150 pictures of a collection that will amaze you. Not only pumps that you have never seen, but twins.

The Gentleman that has the collection has 'people' that while on jobs, scowered the countryside for pumps; they bought em all. I only had time to view the pumps in the short time I was there, much less document them. The original ID tags were preserved when ever possible. As I understand it, the greater part of the collection is still unrestored and under wraps.

I am a restorer and a purest at heart. Some folks call me anal. In my opinion a person can do anything they want to an inanimate object that they personally own. As long as the guy doesn’t abuse his wife, harm his kids or kick the dog, it is ok with me.

The collection is in Minnesota. The pix with the MS80 is the 'out-house' midway between the buildings. The May West is made entitely of wood. That is all folks The last shot is the drive way out. There is old cars & trucks & stuff along the drive for amusement. I would say the drive way is a half mile long.

Loved the thread Curt, lots of eye candy and some candy I've never seen before. Thanks for taking us along. Is it just me or does every Chevy have a Drip Pan under it? Never bought a Chevy Before but do they come with those Drip Pans when New? I'm sure every motor vehicle housed has a drip pan under it... to protect the floor. Ford's leak too, don't let your love for Ford blind you.

The 2 Polly pumps are two that past through my hands at a time when I didn't know much about pumps. The Rheem displayed great but the Keesee was awesome! After we sold it it, we where told that it was a custom made pump and the actual pump used at Hearst Castle. Here a couple of pics right after resto and before we gave them away.....
